Yew is slow growing and cuts to give the very smooth hedge line. Yew can be nurchered into any shape and a timeless classic from the old traditional garden to the ultra-modern contemporary garden.
Taxus baccata
Yew is the KING of all hedges. It’s found in all the great gardens of the world and rarely omitted from professional designs. Its suitability for formative shaping is unsurpassed due to its slower growth rates, incredibly dense habit and rich dark colour once established. And as with all evergreens it is ideal screening for privacy, shelter, security and sound 365 days a year. This reliable, hardy and easily maintained evergreen is the chosen one. If you like clean lines, this one is for yew !!
